CHAPTER I
PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
The use of computers has a significant impact on education because it is now an integral part
of every person's life and is included in school curriculum, Computers can be used for online
education, and computer education in schools plays a significant and notable role in the
career development of young students. Students can use the internet to acquire helpful
Many high school students learn the fundamentals of using a computer, including how to
send emails, conduct Internet searches, create word processing documents, and make
presentations. Computers and computer devices have evolved to play important roles in
schools. When used to process and present information, these fundamental computer skills
The rising usage of computers by academics and students alike is a key indicator of
technology advancement in the academic setting. The computer is a digital tool that receives,
processes, stores, and outputs data in a meaningful way. Today, computers are widely used in
computer skills is necessary for students to use computers efficiently. (JETIR, 2023)
K–12 students increasingly see skills as a requirement for education, reflecting their
importance in the world outside of the classroom. (Mbaeze, Ukwandu, & Anugu, 2010)
It is simpler to perform regular assignments and tasks and productivity is increased when one

The basic computer skill aims to equip learners with the fundamental knowledge and skills
necessary to succeed in the digital age. Learners will be able to use technology effectively
and efficiently, while also being aware of the ethical and social implications of technology in
society.
As we live in a digital age, it is a must for Grade 10 learners at NIS to acquire the basic
necessary knowledge and computer skills. These skills will not only enhance their academic
performance but will also prepare them for the ever-evolving digital world they will be
entering.
This study seeks to recognize the basic computer skills and knowledge that will enhance the

LITERATURE REVIEW
As society today becomes more and more reliant on new technology, computer literacy is
receiving more and more attention, and it is just as important in the current information age
as reading, writing, and calculus were in the 19th and 20th centuries. (Saparniene, 2019)
“Computer learning programs gives students the opportunity to expand their horizons to learn
skills they would not have the centers are available to students, regardless of what
skills, such as problem-solving skills, and the capacity to comprehend text and symbols, all of
which are not necessarily clear to persons with a basic understanding of how to use
computers. Computer knowledge used to be a skill set that was optional. A necessary ability
for success in school, job, and daily life is computer literacy. (MathGenie, 2018)
A nation's growth and development are significantly influenced by its educational system.
The development of 21st-century skills among students is one of the main focuses of today's
educational problems since globalization and internalization of education are in fact issues
that every country must sustain with the growth of science and technology. (Darin Jan T.,
Information technology has had a profound impact on today's globe, forcing society
preserves competitiveness is the ability to quickly adapt to the demands of digital technology;
nevertheless, this chance may also be turned into a micro- or macroeconomic growth vector.

Technology is not the next frontier in enhancing production and growth; rather, it is digital
Computer skills, from fundamentals like typing assignments to more complex abilities
like coding, are not only "nice to haves," but rather a must for all students to succeed in the
Students must possess life skills, media literacy, and learning skills in order to
succeed in 21st-century learning. The use of technology tools and tactics in the school
curriculum is integrated to help students, particularly those with special needs or Special
Needs Students (SNS), gain these abilities. According to research, students’ poor digital
literacy abilities make it difficult for them to succeed in the digital learning environment. In
the digital world, developing as an independent student requires strong digital literacy
abilities. Digital literacy abilities have showed a favorable effect on student performance,
according to earlier studies. (Abdul Jalil Toha Tohara, et. al., 2021)
The learning ecosystem in a higher education setting is one that advances technology-
enabled platforms to combine digital technology with teaching and learning methods as a key
promote self-learning and the development of new skills (Bulman & Fairlie, 2016; Jo Shan,
students use this tool to enhance their knowledge” (Tamim et al., 2014).

“Students with computers or the internet at home had better academic performance and a
higher average score on the Saber 11 test and PISA” (Castro Aristizabal et al., 2015; Posada
There is strong evidence that employing technology in the classroom improves student
learning and academic results. According to previous studies, students in classrooms where
every student has a personal computer engage in more collaborative work, take part in more
project-based learning, produce writing that is of higher quality and length, have greater
access to information, develop their research analysis skills, and spend more time doing
homework on computers. Additionally, studies have shown that these kids take a more active
role in their education, rely more on active learning techniques, are more adept at problem-
solving and critical thinking, and regularly make deeper and more creative use of technology
than students who do not have their own computers. (Gulek, J. C., & Demirtas, H., 2005)
“The impact of laptops after one year was at best marginal on achievement on mathematics,
science, and writing and that technology literacy has big contribution to education.” (Kara,
2015)
The Philippines should not left behind when it comes to applying educational technology
because a responsible use of computers, tablets, cellphones, and other devices can greatly
